Remus Pricopie, rector of SNSPA, claims, in a post published on social networks, that the president is right when he says that he will not accept any alliance of pro-European parties with sovereignist ones.
President Nicușor Dan declared, on Friday, after the EU summit in Cyprus, that in the hypothetical situation where PNL or PSD will come to him and say they want a minority government, with the support of the AUR party, he will not agree.
The rector of SNSPA, Remus Pricopie, welcomed this message from the president, in a message on Facebook.
“The position of President Nicușor Dan is correct: you cannot build a pro-European minority government supported, even indirectly, by extremist political forces. Such a formula would generate incoherence, vulnerability and affect the credibility of Romania’s European commitments.
At the same time, the haste of some politicians to “reevaluate piece by piece” the sovereign actors, in the context of the current government crisis, represents a strategic error. Beyond the political calculation of the moment, such an approach indicates an insufficient understanding of the risks involved in relativizing democratic values and pro-European orientation.
I am glad that, in the same line as President Nicușor Dan, UDMR has a clear message and leaves no room for speculation.
In times of crisis, the real test of leadership is not flexibility without limits, but the ability to remain consistent with fundamental principles”to write Remus Pricopie.
President Nicușor Dan was asked what he would do in the event of a PNL-AUR coalition or a PNL supported in Parliament by AUR.
“I think the answer is the same. At the same time, I think it is extremely unlikely that this request will reach me”he said, write News.
About the fact that PNL has already started negotiations with some of the opposition parliamentarians, including those from AUR, Nicuşor Dan said: “AUR has many flaws, but it’s still a party. I can’t imagine that, in a voting situation in the Parliament, the AUR MPs will not respect the party’s record”.
“In the hypothetical situation where PNL or PSD will come to me and say that we want a minority government with the support of the AUR party, I will not agree to this”, the head of state mentioned.
